Repp is one of those singer-songwriters that has cultivated an almost
mythical reputation for crafting exquisite songs and performing stirring
solo renditions to hushed crowds. She is that rare songwriter that is
best seen and heard by herself. Her stage presence is unmatched in
alternating intensity and charm. Repp's occasional panoramic song-scapes
recall the ballads of Gillian Welch, though her menthol vocals have
often been compared to the Cowboy Junkies' Margo Timmins. Her lyricism
and phrasing has been aptly described as haiku-like; indeed her vocal
delivery leaves the listener with the sensation of someone solidly
pushing against their chest.
